You wouldn’t build a house starting with the roof…
This is one of the most common mistakes people make when training their core.
Many people overtrain their upper core muscles — commonly known as the “6-pack abs.”
Once you understand that your 6-pack abs are like the roof of a house, it becomes easier to understand why the foundation matters first.
Your lower core muscles are the foundation, while your obliques act as the walls that support the roof.
When your lower core & obliques are strong & integrated, your 6-pack abs finally have the support they need to become more toned, defined & functional.
If your core training keeps leaving you tight, limited or stuck, it might be time to start training your core differently. DM me “Core” & let’s get you dialed in.
